Located on a coastal bluff in a famous artistic community, Montage Laguna Beach truly celebrates its region’s history with a gorgeous fine art collection, beautiful craftsman-style architecture, and restaurants featuring delicious local ingredients and gorgeous views overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Guests of Montage Laguna Beach can expect endless entertainment options with three outdoor swimming pools, direct beach access, and a children’s program. Guests can also indulge in facials, massages and more at the resort’s own Spa Montage.

Location

Montage Laguna Beach boasts a 30-acre beachfront property in the famed city of Laguna Beach. Catalina Island and Temecula are nearby, while Los Angeles and San Diego are just 60 minutes away.

John Wayne/Orange County Airport, Long Beach International Airport, and Los Angeles International Airport are 30, 50, and 60 minutes from the resort, respectively.

The Montage is beautiful and the Service is fantastic.
Check In: 5 minutes at the front desk - room was upgraded to amazing view looking over the Spa Pool to the ocean. Always make sure you have a great view - it's the reason to pay these prices.
Room: Standard room with great view. Huge large Queen or King bed with the normal sitting area and sliding doors to private deck. Entry has coffee machine, mini-bar and bathroom off the the left. It has all the expected amenities including work desk, iron + board, safe and Bose Mini Wifi speaker system (nice!). The TV had HBO and tons of other channels - but it is really slow to surf up and down - not sure why.
Bathroom: 2 sinks, separate tub - nice and deep, separate shower and toilette room. Lots of thick towels and great shampoo/conditioner etc.
Restaurants: Lofts is fine for breakfast => but Studio is REALLY EXCELLENT. Prices are steep - but really worth it.
Parking: $40 per night on site - Expensive. Off site parking options are limited. Take Uber over a taxi anywhere - 50% cheaper and much quicker.
Pools: Heated and not too crowded when I went - great food and beverage service.
What do they need to improve' A $38 Resort Credit on a $700+ room is just plain annoying and poor marketing. It should be included in the price upfront - not tacked on at check out - or include Free Parking ($40 separate charge). I got a $100 Spa Credit - but at $250 - $350 per massage + tip' The credit should really be good toward any food or beverage.

"Gorgeous lobby"

This hotel has great service! Before you even walk through the doors, the valet parking attendants are right there to take your car and answer your questions. We were escorted to our suite by a great bellhop who also went through all the features of the room and bathroom. Our view was fantastic and we arrived just in time for a beautiful sunset against the backdrop of their Christmas tree.Staff is friendly and attentive and the lobby has a great view overlooking the ocean. Wonderful stay and will come again soon.

I used to visit this place every summer for several years and would look forward to it. Ambience was great, the folks who worked here went out of their way to help but recently that seems to shift.
On my last visit we had a hard time trying to get 2 rooms next to each other and when we got the rooms I was disappointed at their condition for the amount of money being charged since then I had been going to another resort close by.
This time I had to stay here for work and although the rooms conditions are a lot better it really bothered me when they would not give me an hour extension on checkout when others I know got them.

"Reliable luxury"

Great service, comfortable, fabulous views from the top bar. I would recommend it without hesitation. Expensive food but the whole experience is so easy and enjoyable and the beach and grounds gorgeous its worth it. Reliable luxury.
